[Wiki] Acronyms - The Definitive List plus Definitions!

Nice ToC. :+1:

I prefer plain style so that new players can use browser’s search to lookup.

What about a rollup on the “Historical” section only?

This wiki would be a good pattern for others.

“Historical” … you mean “Change Log” ?
That is fine to use rollup.

I should probably add a “change log” section.

I was referencing to the “This post was created by …” section.

ic, OK.

Sample Code
<details>
<summary>Change Log</summary>

||||
| :-: | :-- | :-- |
| Date | By | Change |
| 07/13/2019 | xxx | newly created |
| 07/14/2019 | yyy | add Change Log section |

</details>

Output:

Change Log
Date By Change
07/13/2019 xxx newly created
07/14/2019 yyy add Change Log section

Fair warning: Because anchors are in use, special care needs to be taken with <details>. I can get to it a bit later as I know where the anchors need to be. Put them in the wrong place and the links up top won’t work anymore. :slight_smile:

For the dates, i would recommend using the ANSI Date Format of yyyy-mm-dd.

(As a DB Developer, I’m a stickler for ensuring proper conversion of VARCHAR/VARCHAR2 to DATE)

It might not be that big a deal, but you might want to use mm-dd-yyyy instead. (Since this is the US forums).

Actually, yyyy-mm-dd has no ambiguous, I tends to prefer this format.

Second thought, we can see the change history using the pencil icon at upper right. Do we need to explicitly keep the change log ourselves?

Change done:

  • use Rollup for history section
  • sort DH section

Should the top section be rearranged?

Proposed Format:


Acronyms: the Definitive List Plus Definitions

This is a list of commonly used acronyms in the community.

History

This post was created by @Hulktopus in 2014. Although it is a bit out-dated, I think it is still good for new players.
Just copy from old forum before losing it. See the original post here.


Table of Contents …

Done. Title moved to very top.

I did like the “trolls are not welcome” box at the very top… but, that is me.

Also, I was wondering if we should provide links to various equipment. Then again, those pages don’t seem too useful (compared to the Wiki information)
If we could only link to “just the picture”.

@DogBone
It is nice, but if we do that, then will ask why not other items, set, etc; why not adding …
Then it is like replicating diablowiki.net or other existing sites.

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t mean won’t do it. I think we shall fill in the missing holes, e.g. necro section, first. Then go back to the presentation.

Also, let’s move testing to other thread. Sorry, @Persuso, may borrow your thread. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

I created that thread to have a place I could test stuff before posting it on these new forums. I figured other people would do the same. (That is, create their own “testing place”).

However, if others want to use my thread to test their stuff, they’re more than welcome.

Added some necro acronyms.
Still incomplete.

Edit: Thanks @Boubou for fixed a typo mistake.

Hi Nev, hope you see this message.
We have ported this article from the old forum.
Would you help to pin this article on the forum?
Thanks.

Can anyone tell me what DCC stands for?

It’s in reference to the Templar’s Relic, Enchanting Favor. It’s suggested you get one with DCC/Block Chance if gearing him as the “Thunderfury Templar”.

Not sure what DCC is. But not many choices from Mystic. I guess it should be CHD “Critical Hit Damage”.
